"if you are familiar with these remix samplers/synthesizers – one is made in Japan (DJ-70), the other in Italy (DJ-70 MK II) – the construction is drastically different between the two, best way to describe is one is well built (metal) the other (die-cast) not so much...For starters it has a cool little disc for ‘spinning’ your samples ‘the infamous scratch dial, resample onboard, has large waveform editing screen,– both have been upgraded with full memory. the DJ-70 with Maximum : 4 mb, the MK II with Maximum : 32 mb. Also the MK II has the Built-in SCSI port and headphones have an independent volume control. Also Compatible with Roland 700-Series and Akai S-1000/1100 CD-ROM sample libraries, 8 assignable pads, Synchronize tempos of multiple drum loops with its BPM adjustment function, 8 track Realtime Phrase Sequencer, also lets you load samples while playing..."
always wanted one of these when they came out...
ReplyDeleteI like how they jumped from $50-$150 to $500+ for absolutely no reason.
ReplyDeleteI have a MKI, it looks cool but the UI and failing parts don't exactly excite the creative process. i.e the alpha encoder, scratch wheel and the stop/start button; all went around the same time.
"Thanks Roland!"
good evening, excellent review! I would like to specify that mk1 was built in Italy too (as yon can see on the internal motherboard)
ReplyDeletei'd like for the pair of these to gear up equiptment for tracklisting on dubbing putting together a 5-list and keep it up.with production.
